The emerging battery technology promises longer range, faster charge speeds, and is production feasible. Mercedes-Benz is testing a prototype EQS electric sedan fitted with a semi-solid-state battery pack co-developed with its Formula 1 powertrain subsidiary,

German carmaker Mercedes-Benz claims to have become the first carmaker in the world to drive a car powered by a lithium-metal solid-state battery

Mercedes has begun testing an EQS equipped with a solid state battery. It provides 25% more range than a lithium-ion battery of the same size and weight. Solid state batteries offer higher energy densities and safety benefits over traditional batteries.

Mercedes is developing solid-state batteries with the aim of having the technology ready by the end of the decade.

Lab testing of the EQS test vehicle shows that the solid-state battery provides up to 25% additional electric range. The post Road tests start on solid-state EV battery developed by Mercedes AMG and F1 engineers appeared first on The Manual.

Mercedes-Benz and American battery start-up Factorial Energy have developed a prototype EQS equipped with a solid-state battery. The companies claim it's the "world's first solid-state battery vehicle from a global OEM." It’s already out on the road doing test runs.

The German automaker has unveiled that a prototype EQS, equipped with a solid-state battery developed in collaboration with US startup Factorial Energy, has begun real-world testi

The solid-state battery race has heated up, with Mercedes bringing on a road-going prototype in the form of the EQS sedan.

The race for the “holy grail” of EV batteries is heating up. Mercedes-Benz is testing the world’s first production

Solid-state batteries are expected to be the future of EVs, but they have proven difficult to develop and manufacture on anything close to a commercial scale. Mercedes appears to be moving ahead of the curve,
